On July 24th I’ll be headed for Bolivia to chase golden dorado, pacu and more thanks to two friends, Tom Hansen and Skip Brittenham of California who are treating me to this incredible trip.  Last month Tom asked if I’d take them carp fishing while they’re up in Jackson.  Of course I was happy too.

 

blog-July-6-2013-1-Skip-BrittenhamIt turns out they each had busy schedules while up this way so today I took Skip and on Monday I’ll take Tom.  Fishing was excellent and Skip landed three mirror carp, a 6lb on a red copper John, this 8lb on a Chernobyl and last, and I don’t have a picture, a 13lb on a brown wooly bugger.  The carp bite is on!

I started fly fishing at age 7 in the lakes and ponds of New England cutting my teeth on various sunfish, bass, crappie and stocked trout. I went to Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin, where I graduated with a Naturalist Degree while I discovered new fishing opportunities for pike, muskellunge, walleyes and various salmonids found in Lake Superior and its tributaries.

From there I headed west to work a few years in the Yellowstone region to simply work as much as most people fish and fish as much as most people work. I did just that, only it lasted over 20 years working at the Jack Dennis Fly Shop in Jackson, WY where I departed in 2009. Now it’s time to work for "The Man", working for myself that is.

I pursue my love to paint fish, lecture on every aspect of fly fishing you can imagine and host a few trips to some of the most exotic places you can think of. My ultimate goal is to catch as many species of fish on fly possible from freshwater to saltwater, throughout the world. I presently have taken over 440 species from over 60 countries!
